Tampa Partners Nicole Soto and Eric Faulkner, along with Appellate Litigation Support Attorney Megan Powell, recently secured a defense verdict in a heavily disputed motor vehicle accident case in Polk County, Florida. The Plaintiff hit debris and ran off the road and hit a pole.  They blamed the Defendant and claimed that a ladder fell off the Defendant’s truck which caused the debris. Our attorneys successfully argued there was no evidence of what caused the accident and no evidence that the ladder had anything to do with the accident. The Plaintiff had $750,000 in medicals and they asked the jury for $8.75 million.  The jury deliberated for only 14 minutes before returning a verdict in favor of the defense.
